HER HEELS ABOUT HER NECK.
The Astonishing Exploit OF an Initiative
Houssmaid in Missouri.
.g. NJ. \ Dr,,n.rrI

NerddG MOI Democrat
The following occurred e Pedro and
Liberal, in Barton county, N day last
week. On Thursday morning, at a we'll
known farmers house not far from that
town. the hired man and two of the far.
mer's sons were competing ardously on the
barn floor to ascertain who could put one
of his heels around his neck. One of the
bows said he had seen u MAJ i'll the circus
put both his heels around his neck at once,
and it would be strange indeed If they
could not get one around. The boys heayed
and strained, and the hired mau did like
wise to accomplish the feat. But little did
they know the hired girl was watching
the performance with breathless interest
through q nothole in the barn, and in a few
hours more the girl was missing and q
search was instituted for her. After call
ing to her q number OF times with no re-
sponse she was found in the m~ilk-house
living PROSTATE on the floor with both heels
about her neck and utterly unable to get
them loose. She was so upset that she Is
said to have declared that she would have
died before calling tor help. After being
helped out of the the predicament and Ia
ken into the house it was found that her
right hip had been dislocated. A physician
from Pedro was sent for, who set the dis
located limb, but the circus performer will
be laid I'D for several weeks.

HE WAS MISLED.
Her Description Glowing but the Words
Came Cheap.
'an Francisco Chronicle.

The picturesque is always n feature OF a
woman's description of anything. She
talks gra%ndiloQuently of c%olors, and if you
hear her describe q tablecloth you fancy it's
a gorgeous thing oftapestry or some equally
effective picture.
"My wife" says the husband to the man
in the store, has sent me for something
she looked OF yesterday
"Yesr'
''This is the description of it," and he
pulls out n piece of paper which has in it
a full description of an elaborate pattern of
myrids of colors, and all in nomenclature
that sounds like some elaborate picture.
you'll excuse me, l can't remember the
blamed thing"
That's all right. I know what she
means
you'll please wrap it up very carefully,
for if it gets spoiled before it gets there she
will he mad"
Certainly"
Then the man goes 10 a shelf and pulls
ont roughly a piece of something.
Hold on, says the husband, that can't
be the thing. That's chintz, or damask OF
something, amt it?'
"This IS the article, sir"
''What does it cost"
"Forty cents a yard"
''Great Scott! Forty cents a yard! l
thought from the description it would come
to about 500"

HEAVENLY HASH.
4 delightful New Dainty-A Glimpse Of
Paradise.

~. Lbdth h'phDt'AH-
Haven't YOU heard of heavenly hash?"
asked a pretty little matron down at the
cOOking-SchOOl-a matrOn so Young, so pref
ty, petite and dainty, with such dimpled
cheeks and waving hair; such baby-blue
eyes and such a rosebud mouth as to make
one think Of Dora COppertield-"Why,
heavenly hash is Just too delicious, and the
nan suits it to q dot. This is what it
seems to be, and / believe it Is: Oranges,
bananas, lemons, apples, raisins and pine
apples are cut up into little bits-hashed
You know. and worked just enough to
thicken their juices, almost to a jelly, and
then served with 4 little grated nutmeg.
But the serving is the pretty part. II is
after this wise: Cut a hole Just large
enough TO admit n spoon in the stem end
of an orange, and through that hole take
u all the inside of the orange, which you
then fill with the heavenly hash and serve
on a pretty little glass fruit-dish with
lemon or orange leaves decorating the dish.
You can imagine this heavenly hash to be
a delightful new dainty, which at some
recent luncheon parties has taken the place
of ice-cream.
Luz DtAhdpo III give lOu u Rilulpoc
of paradise that you never saw, and it will
90 alongside heavenly hash very we'll in
your notebook, though they should not be
served at the same entertainment. Would
You like a glimpse Of paradise? Well, l
will give you directions how you may have
it. Take all the fruits hat are in season
apples, pears, lemons, oranges, bananas,
pineapples, candied cherries, greengages,
figs, etc. Slice the fruits that have rinds,
leaving the rinds on; for they add to the
beauty of the dish, and l can't say it is so
much by the taste as the look OF it that you
will be RECALLED. The fruits are piled in
mixed layers upon a glass dish, and over
all you may sift sugar and crate c~ocoanut,
and then pass around with a fork to aid
you in the serving. No one is expected to
skirmish in the melange to crafty any pre-
ference, but must simply take the piece of
fruit nearest at hand, and eat it, whether
it be a fruit one likes or not. This dish
was n lately introduced in st. Louis by
a lady who recently came over from France,
where she saw it served at some very
recherche houses.

the yellow hair and blue eyes of her Ger

She is about setting out on a sketching
tour in Southern California and looks for

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispa,ch.l
GREENSBORO, n. G., August 81, 1887.
A startling rlimor got ahOat here last
night that a railroad-man who had just
come down on n railroad tricycle. from
Winston reported that as he passed
Kernersville, eighteen miles from this
city. he saw an excited crowd who were
about to lynch a negro. On inquiry he
was informed that the negro, whose
name was Rufe Hairston, had attempted
an assault on Miss Lapp, beautiful
and accomplished young lady, seven
teen years of age, and a daughter Of
Mr.. Jesse Lapp, well-to-dO and highly
respected gentleman living near Ker-
nersville. On the arrival of the train from
Winston last night about $50 o'clock
the rumOr was confirmed. The negrO's
attack was made near her fathers
Louise, the fiond holding pistol to her
head and choking her. \ cash was left
Cn her forehead, where, she afiirms, he
struck her with the pistol. Her screams
aIcused her father, who, with several
men about the place, ran to the spot
and succeeded in capturing Hairston.
Miss Lapp was taken home in an almost
helpless condition, and when she az
rived there she had been so severely
chohcd she could not talk, but had to
write. A crowd rapidly collected at
Mr.. Lapp's house, and lynching was
freely talked. Several officers who
were present succeeded in getting pos
session of the prisonerand brought him
to this city and placed him in Jail.
When the report of the outrage spread
abroad in the noighborhood OF Ker-
nersville a crowd Of fifty men got to-
gothcr and came as far rs Friendship,
SIX miles from this city, swearing their
intention to lynch Hairston, but gave
up their intention for last night and
TUNED back, sending on one Of their
number to this city. 1t is fully ex-
pected that the lyncbing will occur to-
night. Miss Lapp is well known in
this city, and Indignation runs high.
It is thogght she would have been
killed by the negro If she had not been
rescued by her father. G.. y. i.
